The Multicultural Studies Minor is a flexible minor that focuses on the United States.  By minoring in Multicultural Studies, you can learn how different cultures interact to shape individual identity and to structure U.S. society.  Because organizations today need employees who can perform effectively in a diverse workplace, the minor can also enhance your employment options.

As a Multicultural Studies minor, you have opportunities for both personal and professional development:

Each student chooses a theme or thread within Multicultural Studies that suits his or her special interests.  One student might explore a particular cultural tradition—for example, African American, Latino/a, or Jewish.  Another student could focus on a specific realm of cultural interaction—for example, education, media, or literature.

The minor also provides each student with career-relevant knowledge and experience.  For example, A Human Resource Management major learns more about diversity in the workplace.  An Elementary Education major will be better prepared to teach today’s multicultural population of children.  A Psychology student will acquire a deeper understanding of potential clients.

In these various ways, the Multicultural Studies minor plays an important role in preparing Rider students, whatever their ethnic heritage, for an increasingly multicultural world.
